Here are some photos of the devastation from the tsunami that I hadn't seen yet. It's amazing anyone at all survived on these islands. If you haven't contributed to the relief effort yet, or you would like to do something that has a more lasting impact, WorldVision is a great Christian aid organization with a well-established presence in the region. You can make a one-time donation to World Vision, or, for a more long-term impact, you can donate $30 a month to sponsor a child. $30 a month. For the price of a nice meal out or a sweater on sale, you can provide a child with an education and health care.
As an added bonus, any donations made to the tsunami relief effort before Jan 31, 2005 can be deducted on your 2004 tax return.
